Leporacanthicus sp. Sex?

Post by OlePaulsen »

Is it someone that have a good picture of a male and female Leporacanthicus heterodon and/or Leporacanthicus sp. L263 together from above?

I have some of these but not sure about the sex.

Need help.
Thanks

Hello again!

I think you have a pair! It looks very much so!

The head on you're triactis seemes a bit to long for me, to be a female, but I'm not sure.

There you have a referens!

Thanks for help Cristoffer!
I thought it was a small male, because its not that fat yet. Maybe "she" will produce eggs now, when she have two males with her or she is to young ?
She is hanging around the alphamales cave all the time, and he seems quite interessted in her. He change collour and flash the tailfin sometimes.

Have some photos of her outside the cave. The male is watching from distance.
If the other male come this close, he get chased away fast.
